In the early 1970s the Goulburn Murray Aboriginal Cooperative fought and opposed the selling of Rumbalara to a youth group. Through much persistence and pressure on both State & Federal Governments, Rumbalara was sold to the Cooperative for a nominal sum. With the "Title" in their hands the way was now clear to establish a place where our Community people could meet for cultural and social activities as well as provide education, information and support in areas of special need such as health, housing, welfare and culture.
